Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Circannual Rhythm in the Month of Birth. We studied the existence of circanual rhythm in the month of birth
in participants with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and analyzed the association between months of birth and ADHD. We analyzed
10,978 participants (1,778 ADHD/9,200 non-ADHD), aged 3 to 18 years. A consecutive sample of first visits to mental health between 1992 and
2021 is used. Participants with ADHD exhibit a significant circannual rhythm in the months of birth, with an acrophase in October. Being born in the
last quarter of the year significantly increases the probability of being diagnosed with ADHD, controlling for the effect of sex and age. As the months
of the year go by, there is a significant increasing linear trend of being diagnosed with ADHD, which is not observed neither in general population
nor in cases without ADHD. Caution is necessary in diagnosis and treatment of children born in the last months of year, who, due to their greater
immaturity compared to the other children in class, could be misdiagnosed and treated as ADHD
